When two H atoms come closer the following forces operate between them: 

a. Attractive : 

i.nucleus of atom and its electron 

ii.nucleus of one atom and electron of other. 

b.repulsive : 

i.electrons of two atoms. 

ii.nucleus of two atoms. 

It has been found experimentally that magnitude of attractive forces is more than repulsive forces hence two atoms come closer to each other and the potential energy of the system decreases. A stage is reached when attractive forces balance repulsive forces and the system acquires minimum energy .At this stage two hydrogen atoms are said to be bonded together.

The formation of O2 ^+[PtF6]^– is the basis for the formation of xenon fluorides. This is because

(i) The first ionization energy of xenon (1, 170 kJ mol– 1 ) is quite close to that of dioxygen (1,180 kJ mol–1). (ii) The molecular diameters of xenon and...

Define bond order and give the relationship between bond order and bond length

Bond order (b.o.) is defined as one half the difference between the number of electrons present in the bonding and the antibonding orbitals i.e., Bond order (b.o.) = ½ (Nb–Na)  Bond...

Explain the diamagnetic behaviour of Hydrogen molecule on the basis of molecular orbital theory.

It is formed by the combination of two hydrogen atoms. Each hydrogen atom has one electron in 1s orbital. Therefore, in all, there are two electrons in hydrogen molecule which...

Is the bond energy of all the four C-H bonds in CH4 molecule equal? If not then why ? How is C-H bond energy then reported?

 No because after breaking of C-H bonds one by one, the electronic environments change. The reported value is the average of of the bond dissociation energies of the four C-H...
